    Hardwood doors for home
    I am in need of great doors for my home. Hence I am keen to know what can I expect from quality hardwood doors? Any thoughts?

    Where are the doors going and what type of "hardwood" are you anticipating using? Hardwood covers Aspen, Poplar, Oak or Teak or others.

    Thanks for the reply ma0641. Can you please tell me whether I can get fire check doors for my home? Thanks.

    I have no idea where you live. By firecheck I will assume you are talking about fire rated doors. In this an entry door in a single home, a condo, a door between house and garage? Please explain where the door will go. Note that to be fire rated, both the door and frame have to be approved. Putting a rated door in a non rated frame is not a rated door.

    Fire doors, I mean to say that the doors that may last longer in fire conditions. Are there any standards which have to be followed for these fire check doors? However I live in UK.

    They may be required by local code, not sure about UK. They are rated in time, 1 hr, 2hr. etc. I think you will find them quite pricey. I have only seen them between a garage and a house although some local codes are more prohibitive. Check with your local permitting department.
